Eoin Colfer effectively captures the sense of absurdity that made the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy so much fun.

And Another Thing is not as good as the first two books in the series (and neither were Douglas Adams' later novels) but the characters feel familiar and the novel is packed with plenty of jokes and one-liners, some of which are genuinely laugh out loud funny.

This sixth book of the trilogy effectively captures the spirit of Douglas Adams' H2G2 novels and is a very welcome addition to the series.
